A few years ago I spent about... 80 dollars out of paycheck to purchase a bunch of fireworks of different kinds.
My wife complained bitterly about wasting money, blowing up money and loss of ability to put that money to better use etc etc etc etc.
That was about... 6 years ago.
My defense at the time to her was I never fired fireworks in my life and would be sorry if I missed the oppertunity at least once.
The bedroom door slammed in my face, house temperature dropped 40 degrees and the summer turned into tundra chill. So much for wife. So much for me.
So I fired em off and was done with it.
After a time I had a pile of trash to dispose of.
Years later.... we became gun owners.
Thinking on it, it occured to me that wife is motivated to go with me to the range and blow off a dollar and change with each pump of her shotgun, plus my shotgun and a few clips out of handgun for each of us.
We added up the last few shoots and realized at the current rate we are blowing off... 300 dollars in bangbang.
I have not said anything to the spouse yet.
But we are coming up once again to fireworks season. Should I purchase some really big artillery boomers this year or no?
